Video podcast on non-video ipod

I wanna download ask a ninja podcast so I can listen to it on my 20 gig iPod, but its a video podcast. Will I be able to listen to it on my iPod without the video? Or will it just not work?

It doesn't work on mine, as is.
Many TV Shows, etc. purchased from the Music Store can be converted to sound only. Right Click>Convert Selection to [Audio Format]. This slightly defeats the purpose of spending an extra $1 for the video, though.
I don't think that trick works with Podcasts.

  • I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

    I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.  For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large.  Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small. 
    Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

    I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

  • 30G video iPod not playing podcast video

    My video iPod won't play podcast video. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I just recently upgraded iTunes, but I was having the problem before that. Any suggestions?

    My video iPod won't play video files. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I used to be able to play the same video files before. When I do a "Get info", the files are of MPEG-4 type. Any suggestions?
    By the way, I have played around with the video settings also.

  • 5.5 Gen Video Ipod rebooting when trying to play certain PodCasts.

    Hi,
    After enjoying an Ipod Nano for a year and loving every minute, I went ahead and purchased the new 80GB Video iPod.
    Its great but it has a tendency to reboot for no apparent reason when playing certain PodCasts. For example: Its impossible to play the Buzzcast episode: BuzzCast 09/27/06 - "Microsoft protects your ****". The Ipod shuts off and reboots every time. I'm using Itunes 7.0.1 and the Ipod is running the latest available firmware.
    Can anyone else who also owns the new 80GB iPod download this particular episode and confirm?
    By the way, I've also noticed that even though the iPod is connected / docked with iTunes and clearly visible in the panel to the left, The message "Waiting for iPod" is displayed when trying to re-sync a while later. The only way to get iTunes to make contact with the iPod again is to physically disconnect the cable and reconnect, (even though the iPod icon was still clearly visible to the left thus indicating already established contact with the iPod) Weird!
    Anyone else having this experience?
    Input appreciated.
    Kind regards / Alex

    WHAT was apple thinking when they released iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2!? I installed in on my 60gb Video and the whole thing went to pot.
    1. It sounded horrible
    2. It would only allow me to download about 25% of my movies to the iPod (I have a large library and I take movies on and off depending on what I feel like for the trip I am taking.)
    AppleCare Support was USELESS. Here is what I finally figured out to get the pod working right again:
    1. Uninstalled iTunes 7 from my computer (PC).
    2. Went into the registry editor and deleted all remaining references to iTunes.
    3. Restored the firmware to the version that came with the iPod last January.
    4. Used the 2006.06.28 firmware updater
    5. Installed iTunes 6.0.5
    It works like a charm, just like it did before Apple "made things better."
    AppleCare told me that they could not support songs ripped from my CD's, or any video that had not been purchased from iTunes. I am certain that the reason for this had nothing to do with their wanting a monopoly on music and video that will work on an iPod. Then he offered to report the problem I was having to their development team.
    I asked him if other people were having problems with iTunes 7. He said the question was not relevant to my problems! I pressed him more for an answer and he continued to parrot what Apple has obviously told him to say. "My new 80gb Video is working fine. I have not had the problems you are having."
    DON'T UPGRADE TO ITUNES 7!!!!
    I have ordered an 80gb since he said they work so flawlessly. Reading in this discussion, it appears that plenty of new 80gb users are frustrated too.

  • Playing Video Podcasts on my new Video iPod?

    Just got in my new 30 gig. video iPod and spent several hours charging it up and loading all my music, podcasts and video podcasts. However, I haven't been able to watch any video podcasts. It will play the audio but that's it. What am I not doing right or was this just a misunderstanding on my part?
    Thanks.
    Brian

    Just figured it out. I was trying to watch the videos under the music section. Once I looked under 'videos' everything was cool.
    Life. is. good.

  • Is my 40 GB non video IPOD worth replacing battery?

    I bought my first Mac when Panther came out. Thus my first Ipod was dated to whenever that is. I have a firewire connection and a charger stand and I spent a whole bunch on peripherals to add photos, do voice recording, etc. I saw in Scott Kelby's Doing Cool Things with your IPOD book, that batteries eventually need replacement. He compares bringing to Apple Store with sending out to two online vendors. I have not yet upgraded to a video IPOD, but have been happy with books on tape and audio notes, music withthis old ipod. Unfortunately, other concerns left it in the charger with my Mac sleeping and Scott tells me Use it or Lose it. I want to replace this battery unless you all tell me it is a dead horse. I am about to buy an IPod touch for myself and a Nano for my student daughter. The granddaughter and son all fight over the Nano they already have . It is the reall slim one. I cannot see on About my Mac what the serial number or model is on this IPOD. Is it sane to replace battery for use by me for listening to books on tape. ??Are these on line replacement places better for older IPODS than Apple store for cost? Any advice appreciated. Out of date in San Diego. PS I spend about 8 hours on laptop surfing or using web sites for tranining (NAPP,Lynda.com). It is awkward to always be attached to laptop. Have it linked to my HDMI TV. Which helps but I have to control stop/pause/play with scroll bar thumb two fingers, etc. Please any help if if is ok to put money into this IPOD.

    If it's a 40GB non-video iPod with a color screen, it is an +iPod photo+ (aka +iPod with color display+ ), which is a 4th gen iPod. If it has a monochrome display and a click wheel, it is an earlier 4th gen iPod. If it has a touch wheel and 4 round touch buttons, it is a 3rd gen iPod.
    Replacing the battery yourself is not that difficult on any of the above mentioned iPods. The hardest part is opening the case, which is actually not that hard if you do it properly.
    You can buy replacement batteries for lest than $10, including the shipping and the plastic tools.
    [For example, if the iPod is a 4th gen.|http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-for-APPLE-Ipod-20GB-20-GB-MP3-Player-4th-Gen-4 GW0QQitemZ400038705242QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item40 0038705242&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1% 7C294%3A50]
    (I don't know anything about this particular seller.)
    There are online guides, such as this one
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Browse/iPod_Original
    and there are probably video guides on YouTube.
    Although the battery may be weak and not hold a charge, does the iPod otherwise work properly. If so, it is certainly worth less than $10 to replace the battery. However, if you have to pay more than $60 to get it replaced, then it may not be worth it compared to the price for a new or refurb (on Apple's Special Deals page) iPod.

  • Video Ipod Errors - Exclamation/Non-animated Battery Icon Loop

    i have a problem with my video ipod and have followed every single suggestion and tutorial on the apple web site.....
    when i reset, it gives the sad ipod face with exclamation point and the message:
    "www.apple.com/support/ipod" and lights up...
    then turns light off and goes to battery message without any animaton... then just about every 2 minutes or so it goes back to the exclamation point and the message:
    "www.apple.com/support/ipod" and lights up...
    and repeats..
    been charging for hours...
    can't get it into disk mode either...
    computer doesn't recognize...

    Mine is doing a similar item but it will work but just gets a battery logo with a yield and a sign like this inside the yeild I cannot get it to sync. I don't think it is the hard drive it appears to be more software related then hardware related anyone have any solutions.

  • I have upgraded my Itunes to a Windows 8 Computer but now movies will not upload to my video ipod

    Hi, Firstly thanks for clicking on to read this!!
    I have been using an oldish computer for years for my Itunes, and having just purchased a Samsung touch screen computer with Windows 8 I have transfered all my Itunes over to the new computer.
    All the music works fine and I have it all stored on a Passport usb drive to avoid 'clogging' up the new computer.
    HOWEVER non of my videos or movies will now Sync to my video ipod. I just get the following message... "The videos were not copied to the ipod because they can not be played on this ipod".
    I have already tried the following...
    1) Not using the Passport and importing it all on to the computer hard drive....... Same message comes up.
    2) Highlighting the TV shows and movies and going to file 'create ipod version' ... but this is greyed out and can not be selected.
    I have tried re-downloading TV shows on the new computer however that will take AGES!!! (slow connection from Itunes when re-downloading ... 1 episode of bones takes about 4 hours and I have about 50 different series of various shows)... They did however sync to the ipod.
    If I re-plug my ipod into the old computer and use my itunes though the passport again IT DOES WORK AND EVERY THING SYNCS!!!... thus I dont think the actual Ipod is faulty!!!!
    Is this just an update that Apple are dragging their feet with (or not even bothering with).
    Thanks for any advice or help you may be able to offer me.
    Andy

    There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work.  I've looked up Music PadPro.  I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old.  Here are the requirements:
    Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
    Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
    Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor.  After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X.  This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines.  The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors.  It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS.  They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications.  Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up.  You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

  • ITunes does not recognize 5th Generation video iPod in WinXp

    PROBLEM: 5G iPod not recognized in iTunes (shows as removable hard drive in My Computer) via USB on HP Pavilion Notebook running WinXP. Latest error states insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer. HP support replies that installed USB should comply to 480 Mbps hi speed standard. Trying to connect iPod via firewire results in "iPod can not be connected with firewire" error. Have tried the following steps before reaching this point:
    Description of iPod: 5G, 30 gig video iPod model MA002LL contains 1.2 gig data (282 songs, 4 videos, 0 pictures)
    Action: 5G iPod worked fine until connected to download purchased music 3 weeks ago.
    Result: iPod screen shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod.
    Action: Reset iPod (iPod works fine when not connected to any computer).
    Result: same as above
    Action: Recharged iPod overnight with wall outlet to confirm full charge.
    Result: same as above
    Action: Tried to run iPod Updater but iPod was not recognized by Updater (it does recognize iPod Mini and 4G)
    Result: same as above
    Action: Reinstalled latest version of iTunes.
    Result: same as above
    Action: Reinstalled COM interface for IPod Service several times.
    Result: same as above
    Action: Ran repair maintenance on iTunes (repair successful).
    Result: same as above
    Action: Uninstalled iTunes and iPod software, deleted their folders and bin files and cleaned out Temp directory, disabled virus protection and disconnected from network. Ran Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. (Uninstall successful)
    Result: same as above
    Action: Restarted and reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater
    Result: same as above
    Action: Diasabled all non critical items in start menu
    Result: same as above
    Action: Uninstalled all three USB controllers
    Result: same as above
    Action: Reinstalled USBs
    Result: same as above
    Action: Tried to connect by firewire
    Result: Error this device cannot be connected by IEEEE use USB cable.
    Action: Talked to HP support to confirm USB standards on Pavilion Notebook.
    Result: USB should read all 3 standard data speeds up to hi speed 480 MBps
    Action: Tried 5G iPod on 2 other PC desktops with WinXP with powered USB 2.0 ports
    Result: iPod shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod and both computers respond with the following error (which is not received on the notebook) "insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer" both Desktops are older than the Notebook and have older versions of USB 2.0.
    Action: Tried it on my iMac G4 thinking I could reformat it. Mac understandably does not read it as a drive. I tried the following three connections:
    1) Firewire connection: iPod screen shows: firewire connection is not supported; 2) Powered USB port connection: drive is not recognized by Mac and iPod screen shows do not disconnect; 3) Unpowered USB port connection returns an error of "USB Low power notice" on Mac monitor and iPod screen shows menu but won't connect to Mac.
    QUESTIONS:
    Has the 5G iPod reached a point where it now pulls too much power to be read by USB? Is HP not giving me correct specs regarding the performance of the Notebook's USB? Why can I update my iPods with firewire on my Mac but not the PC? Any suggestions regarding what I should try next?
    Thanks.
    HP Pavilion dv notebook Windows XP

    Solution was found: HP was encountering a conflict with a trial version of Symantec Security Center and Norton Anti-Virus causing an incomplete install of iTunes.
    The following actions resolved the problem. Uninstalled both Symantec applications, uninstalled QuickTime 6*, installed QuickTime 7.1.3 (iTunes would not install successfully prior to this step, seems redundant but worked), installed iTunes 7.1 (with Quicktime 7.1.3 again), connected iPod 5G which was finally recognized, received error that iPod was currupted, restored iPod and is now working fine.
    I hope that this helps someone else with similar video iPod problems.

  • Smart playlists won't play on video ipod after upgrade to itunes version 7

    Upgraded to ITunes version 7 on Windows XP using Video Ipod with firmware level 1.2. Resynced Ipod after Itunes upgrade. Now when I hit ipod's play button on a smart playlist, nothing happens. If I hit play button from itunes, no problems...
    Is this a known issue with a solution? I was unable to find a solution in the forum. Thank you for any assistance.

    This problem only occurs when podcasts are included in the playlist. Full restoration of IPOD did not resolve problem.
    Contacted Apple support after a 45-minutes hold time; the support staff were not helpful. Won't invest in a support agreement with Apple going forward...

  • Error Message: Corrupt file/folder on Video Ipod

    As of this morning I can't update my video ipod via the latest version of Itunes. It won't allow me to sync podcasts, put music on or even video. The error message is: File or Folder Corrupted.

    Have you restored it?

  • Lastest video ipod update - Problem

    I have updated my 60g video ipod with the latest update and now my video ipod is not acting right. And will not see any videos that I have placed on my ipod from my library, meaning not bought from itunes, although those show up fine.
    The video do show up, but as songs and not as videos.
    Can I downgrade back to the prior version or do I have to wipe the ipod and reinstall? Not a happy choice...
    Any one else have this issue? Not happy with this intrusive update by apple at all. This update show have come with more information than was presented.

    You shouldn't have to downgrade. You're not providing much information here. You said that videos show up as songs, but not videos. I'm assuming you have these videos labeled as Music Videos, and not Movies. Right click on your non-Music Video videos, and choose Get Info. Choose the Options tab, and change the Video Kind to Movie.
    (Video Out doesn't exist.)

  • Imovie won't playback on video ipod

    I converted my movie 6 movie to share it with my video ipod. It shows up and plays in itunes. The movie also shows up on my video ipod but when I go to play it all I get is a black screen for a few seconds and then it goes back to the movie title in the play list. Help!!

    I have exactly same problem. Came on here to see if there were previous threads about this problem. A bit worrying that a solution hasn't already been posted. I thought I was forgetting to do something fundemental. I have managed to download onto my iPod music vids and video podcasts that I purchased from iTunes music store and although I can import and play ripped dvd's in iTunes they do not play back on iPod even though they are listed in menu, I just get 10 seconds of a black screen. Hopefully somebody will be able to advise us as to a solution?

  • Video IPod automatically reboots

    Hi - I have a 30GB video IPod. I use it mostly for podcasts. Recently, when trying to load a podcast, the IPod reboots. I try to reload, and it reboots again. This has happened with a few other podcasts as well. Most other podcasts, songs, etc., load fine. I receive podcasts from the same site that run fine...any ideas? Thanks.
    eMachines Windows XP

    Any audio file that is encoded at 64kbps at a sample rate of 32.000 khz or higher in mono with your EQ on on your ipod on will crash it. Apple's answer to this is turn the EQ on your iPod off until they can fix the problem.
    So if you turn the EQ off on your iPod it won't crash. The other thing you can do ishave each podcast start 1 sec into it within getinfo << otions << start time 1 sec good luck

  • Can't play videos on Video iPod

    I had no problem with this before, but had a hard drive crash, and when I reinstalled stuff, I have lots of problems. The biggest one right now is that I can no longer see or play videos. How do I get iTunes 7 to play videos on my video iPod?
    My video Podcasts go directly into the music folder, and I know they shouldn't. There's no longer a place for videos - just movies and TV. Where should they be stored? And how do I get iTunes to recognize that this is a video I'm downloading?

    This is a common problem with Ipod and it is occuring even you use any mp4 converter. I am looking for a final solution for this problem. So far, i am re-uploaing the videos again to my Ipod each time this haapen.
